A wood watch, black, quartz movement, no fuss. Wide enough dial to actually read at a glance, thin enough not to catch on a sleeve.
Specs
- Dial diameter: 45mm
- Thickness: 11.5mm
- Band width: 22mm
- Material: wood
- Movement: quartz
- Care: wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid soaking in water
Why this over the cheap version: A plastic-strap watch cracks at the clasp and the band splits within a year. Wood doesn't do either. It wears in instead of wearing out.
Fit and sizing
Wrap a strip of paper around your wrist, mark where it overlaps, then measure the strip flat. That's your wrist size. The dial is 45mm, 11.5mm thick, with a 22mm band. That's a large dial, so measure your wrist first. It comes in black only.
Day to day
Avoid soaking it. It has no stated water-resistance rating, so keep it dry.
Care
Wipe it with a dry cloth after wearing it. Take it off for the shower, the dishes and the gym. Keep it out of hot cars and long stretches of direct sun, which can dry out and warp wood. Wood is a natural material, so grain and tone vary from watch to watch. Yours won't match the photo exactly. That's the wood, not a defect.
Battery
It's quartz, so there's a small battery inside. It typically lasts one to three years, and any watch counter can swap it in a few minutes.
What we can't tell you
We don't have a forestry certification to show for the wood in this watch, so we're not claiming one. The claim is simpler: a wood strap outlasts a cheap plastic one.
Who it suits
Good if you want a big, simple, readable wood watch at the lowest price in the lineup. Skip it if you want a date window or any extra functions.
Buying it
It ships in about 8 to 12 business days, so order a couple of weeks ahead if it's a gift. If it's not right, you have 30 days to return it with a prepaid label.
Nothing life-changing, just stuff that works.
